Gennady Golovkin.

Gennady Golovkin.

Nineteen eighty two he opened his eyes
these days under Kazakhstan skies.
Russian Kazakh's in eighty two
their bid for autonomy going through.

Father a miner not well to do
four sons he did accrue.
Two sons killed in military action
the army shows no compassion.

He started to box when he was eight
strength and boxing skills innate.
Picking street fights to test his talents
adding to his warrior rudiments.

In Bangkok he made his name
amateur world champion he became.
Gold and letting the world know
they were in for the lord mayors show.

Hundreds of fights in the amateur game
then going for professional fame.
He starts his climb on German soil
but Universum trying to spoil.

So the USA it had to be
win, win, win, with esprit.
Milton Nunez he stops in one
the world title he had won.

Amateur or pro. never put down
could be the best to hold the crown.
Trains in California lives in Germany
you could be watching boxing's epiphany.
